290hp is nice but do you think you will need a brake upgrade. I will be changing the ECU when ACSchnitzer releases one for the 550 which will be close to 500hp and well over 700Nm, I plan on keeping the same brakes personally. Fact is, 260kmh is 260kmh whether I have 410hp or 500hp, requires same braking.

Good luck with the mods, I am waiting on the ACSchnitzer springs and exhaust to arrive at my dealer for installation this month, keep us updated on your mods and your impressions!
don't forget the fact that the 550i has bigger brakes than the other f10 models
